Was it you? Enquiring minds want to know...

I recently bought one of Vijay's boost leak detectors and found a boost leak in the AAC unit, which I replaced. I've now driven far enough after reconnecting the battery for the idle to have dropped down to a proper level and now I'm looking to get it all set up properly. Unfortunately the plastic on the connector to the AAC valve seems to be badly cracked and, while watching on the conzult, I could see that the AAC % value was hovering around 45% and then dropping to 0% for a fraction of a second, so replacing that is the first job, followed by setting the idle screw so that the AAC is around 15%! At that point, the conzult idle setting screen was showing an id…

Right, got a couple of problems need solving. My Z has just failed it's MOT. It has a very leaky front right shock. Not standard unfortunately. I believe the car has uprated shocks all over. 1) Will i therefore need to change the lot or just the front 2??? 2) Any recommendations for set ups and installers?? 3) Should i go for the caber correction kit / adjustable link arms to go on at the same time? Would this give me any labour saving? Yes i am lazy. Though a little worried that my garage could find a leaky shock, but neither the hazard nor rear fog switches....one is fairly obvious..... bloody :smw: Any help or advice much appreciated…

Hi, I have just been given a JWT chip by my son who bought it from the forum, question is, I have spoken to a firm about soldering a socket into the ECU, and they say with this chip the boost is upgraded WITHOUT any controller or boost mig tips ect. He expects about 14 psi from it. Is this right?

Between the A30 and M3. I flashed and waved- you flashed back and grinned! :D Scarab bumper? Looked non-standard anyway; didn't clock the rest of the car...

All, Weird issue here with my passenger side rear light. Basically, the light doesnt work but the other side does and when I the brake light works fine?!? Just the normal driving light thats the problem?? I checked the voltage and its about 25.1v?!? The other is about 24.8?!? So it has current. I tested the wires to that bulb with a cold cathode tude running through a transducer??? Dont ask why, but anyway. The tube onyl half lights using the wires from the faulty side, whereas it lights fully when I used the wires fromt he good side??? WTF??? The voltage is higher ont he dodgy side so why doesnt it work? I will investigate more tomorrow but…

just trying pics

Wanted to see if any upgrade had been done to the car in Japan before buying a new chip. Wanted to do it tonight but as its domp and cold I was hoping someone could tell me the easiest way to get to it? I am slightly confused as when I searched for the information different sites say its in a different location depending on the year?

I am having a new engine fitted, (unfortunatley for the second time) I have contacted MJP for gaskets but I am struggling to decide which ones I need. The last time I had the unit fitted I thought i'd do it properly and only do it once :( so I bought a full engine gasket set even though the engine (long block)was ready built (The set was either £180 or £280 cant remember for sure but it was from nissan) the mechanic used very few and gave me more than half back saying he didnt need them as there was a lot for the engine itself. Now I am having another engine fitted I dont want to do the same, but the mechanic has said get all the copper washers for the banjos on t…
